What's for dinner tonight ?

My guess...
Cilantro
Garlic
Lime
Cream?

But seriously, we do one with a mix of yogurt and sour cream. Sometimes avocado in there. Sometimes no cream and with tomatillos. Love green sauces.
So thought I would throw up a post here. Its winter and the covid thread is shut down so here’s some content.
it’s just the point with salt and pepper. About 4 hours in. Any advice? Wrap in foil soon? Internal temp approx 138f

I'd go longer. Bring it up to the stall at least. Between 165-185 before you wrap it. I find if you wrap to soon you don't get enough bark and the meat ends up falling apart too much like it was boiled. Also don't be afraid to bring the cooker temp up to 275 if you want it done sooner.
 
205 and even up to 215 to get it to really melt.
Thanks for the tips. I did crank the heat up at the end. It was 2am and I wanted to sleep lol. I also realize I don’t really like brisket. Dropped it off at mums and she was happy!

Yeah that'll happen. I usually start my brisket at 5AM regardless of when I plan on eating it.

What didn't you like about it? Personally I only eat it on a sandwich with mustard and sauerkraut or pickles. If I'm looking for steak flavor I eat a ribeye.

I’m not sure just the overall flavour. I let it rest in a cooler overnight and tasted it when I woke up. The brisket was cold and I was hungover so that might have had something to do with it. Ya my mum said it was great with mustard and sauerkraut. Might give it another try.

Gotta warm it up and let the fat melt. Get back on your horse. I like freezing the majority of mine and reheating later, after I've gotten over the misery and regret of all that work.

Just another thought,

You must try making your own corned beef, it can take anywhere from 5 to 10 days to brine, but the end result is a product that was made better than a commercial product, and at least half the cost. I also freeze some and it comes back thawed with the same great taste.
